How to Spend Your Retirement: VW Beetle Covered in 50,000 Pieces of Oak

Even since the first Beetle came to the world in the 1940s, we’ve seen all sorts of shapes and sizes of the concept, from the Porsche 911 to the examples car aficionados customize beyond recognition. One man in Bosnia is here to shows us that you can take a Bug way past its original form and yet still keep it amazingly close to its original shape.

Meet Momir Bojic, a 71-year old man who decided to spend his retirement years by crafting his perfect Beetle. He covered his pride and joy in oak, using no less than 50,000 pieces to complete the job.

This Volkswagen, or should we say Oakwagen has every little piece treated with wood. We’ll start from the outside, where there are quite a few details that caught our eye. Take a moment to zoom in on the windshield wipers, for instance and you’ll understand how much passion lies in this vehicle. The hubcaps also serve as a perfect example of this, but nothing shows it better than the rear end.

The part where the engine is kept was given a monstrous amount of attention. From the custom VW emblem and the taillight ornaments, to the... terrace at the top, everything here is amazing.

The oak has obviously found its way inside the Beetle, where the pensioner has paid even more attention to detail. Keep in mind that many of the elements in the cabin must also serve a functional role, so it was not all a matter of “hey, let’s glue some oak pieces here.”

You can see by the look in the man’s eyes that he’s pretty contempt with his retirement accomplishments and we can only salute this. Still, we can't help wonder how the typical washing process takes place...
